Product and process
Posted by: ashleytan on: March 30, 2009
There are at least two YouTube videos that put a smile on my face everytime I watch them. One is a T-Mobile commercial. This is the product:

I think that the process is just as important, if not more so, than [...]
Walk and talk
Posted by: ashleytan on: March 27, 2009
The end of the ICT course draws near and my trainees have started presenting their projects.
Half of them presented this week and the other half will do so next week. All of them present using my “walkabout” format.
Here is a Flickr gallery of mostly group shots.

If you asked me what the not-too-distant future of learning might look like, I’d say it will comprise a better balance of formal and informal learning.
New pedagogies will take advantage of the way people learn now learn in “information fragments”, e.g., open source style.
For assessment, I hope that e-portfolios become more common for teaching, learning, [...]
